Abstract
With technological and economic developments, the amount of domestic and industrial solid waste is gradually increasing. It is important to investigate the methods that will ensure the disposal of waste in the roof tile industry, which is one of these solid wastes. In this study, the pigment effect of waste roof tile in ceramic glaze formulations was investigated. Waste roof tiles were added at the rate of 5-10-15-20% to the ceramic glaze formulations. Two different grinding times, 10 min and 45 min, were applied to the formed formulations, and their effects were compared. The chemical analysis of the waste tile used in the formulations by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), the effect on the glaze surface hardness by the Vickers hardness method, and the surface properties and characterizations of the obtained samples were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). It is foreseen that the roof tile waste will contribute to the usability and economic/environmental aspects of the ceramic industry.
